More quotes by Rajneesh
When you are self-conscious you are in trouble. When you are self-conscious you are really showing symptoms that you don't know who you are. Your very self-consciousness indicates that you have not come home yet.
Rajneesh
Meditation is just a courage to be silent and alone. Slowly slowly, you start feeling a new quality to yourself, a new aliveness, a new beauty, a new intelligence—which is not borrowed from anybody, which is growing within you. It has roots in your existence.
Rajneesh
Be open, and God starts pouring into you like wine from every nook and corner of existence. Then wherever you look, you find God. Then whatsoever you touch, you find God. Then whatsoever you drink and eat, you find God. And when God pours from everywhere, then life is a celebration.
Rajneesh
Children can be taught meditation more easily because they are not yet spoiled. When you have been spoiled the hard work is to help you to unlearn.
Rajneesh
The freedom from something is not true freedom. The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about. My vision of freedom is to be yourself.
Rajneesh
No, I don't want to give my people sticks. I want to give them eyes.
Rajneesh
Always remember to judge everything by your inner feeling of bliss.
Rajneesh
Responsibility is awareness, alertness, consciousness. Ego is just unconsciousness. They cannot coexist. As you grow more conscious you grow more towards light, and anything belonging to the world of darkness starts disappearing. Ego is nothing but darkness.
Rajneesh
Have you not watched it yourself? Whenever you are total in something there is celebration.
Rajneesh
ordinary is the door for extraordinary.
Rajneesh
In relationship with others, it is only you mirrored.
Rajneesh
The world is not religious because religion is imposed upon us. The parents are in a hurry to impose the church, the state, the country - everybody is in a hurry to impose a certain religion on the child. How foolish! How stupid! Religion needs maturity, great understanding, before one can choose.
Rajneesh
Meditation is nothing but coming to terms with your inner emptiness: recognizing it, not escaping living through it, not escaping being through it, not escaping. Then suddenly the emptiness becomes the fullness of life.
Rajneesh
But then you become closed. Then you start dying as far as your intelligence is concerned because intelligence needs the open sky, the wind, the air, the sun in order to grow, to expand, to flow. To remain alive it needs a constant flow if it becomes stagnant it becomes slowly slowly a dead phenomenon.
Rajneesh
When desiring ceases, the other world opens. The other world is hidden in this world. But because your eyes are full of desire, full of the ego, you cannot see it.
Rajneesh
Real love makes you more of an individual. It does not efface your individuality, it gives you individuality. Real love is very respectful.
Rajneesh
You cannot lose your real treasure.
Rajneesh
The family gives you ambition, and ambition is one of the hindrances for enlightenment. It gives you desires, it gives you a longing to be successful, and all these things create your tensions, your anxieties: how to be a celebrity?
Rajneesh
You exist in time, but you belong to eternity.
Rajneesh
Total relaxation is the ultimate. That's the moment when one becomes a buddha. That is the moment of realization, enlightenment, christ-consciousness. You cannot be totally relaxed right now. At the innermost core a tension will persist.
Rajneesh
